2000 Driver charged after cyclist killed A 35 year-old Hinchinbrooke man appeared in Valleyfield Court Monday to face charges in connection with a Sunday night traffic accident on Route 202 in Franklin which resulted in the death of one bicyclist and injuries to another.According to Manon Gaignard of the Montreal office of the Sûreté du Québec, a group of four cyclists was pedalling eastward on Rte.202 around 10:20 p.m.Sunday when two of them were hit by a car going in the same direction.All four were French nationals working in a St- Antoine-Abbé apple orchard as part of a visit to Quebec.They were staying in Havelock.Dead is Thierry Schaller, 32, of Com- piégne, near Paris.Another cyclist, 21 year-old Martin Renaud, was injured, but was released from Ormstown\u2019s Barrie Memorial Hospital Monday afternoon.police said.The driver of the car was arrested on the spot by SQ officers from the Orms- town-based Haut-St-Laurent detachment.Police said he seemed to be intoxicated.and they administered a breathalyzer test, which showed almost twice the legal blood-alcohol limit.As well.the officers found a small quantity of a drug.believed to be cocaine, on his person.See ACCIDENT page 8 Rash of accidents on Valley roads A resident of St-Lambert was killed and two other people injured in a September 30 accident at the intersection of the Montée Leblanc and the Ridge Road at Cazaville.Police reported few details on the crash, as their investigation is continuing, they said this week.Another accident on Hinchinbrooke's Gore Road resulted in injuries to three young people late in the afternoon of Tuesday Sept.12.Police said the driver, a Howick youth, lost control of the car, which ended up in the ditch.A spokesman for the Haut- St-Laurent SQ detachment said speed was a factor in the accident.A 20 year-old Athelstan woman sustained minor injuries in another loss of control later the same day.The single-car accident occurred just after 11 p.m.September 12.when the car hit a tree after skidding out of control in wet conditions on Elgin's First Concession.(PLAT) FOUNDED IN 1863 66 CHATEAUGUAY, HUNTINGDON 264-5364 16 pages .87° a NEw

reached among the owners of the derelict Huntingdon Chateau, the Town of Huntingdon, and the Haut-St- Laurent MRC.The MRC decided last week to offer $88,000 for the once-distinguished hotel, on condition that the Town buy the historic Huntingdon County Building, which the regional body currently occupies, as well as the adjacent Registry Office, for a price of $500,000.A deal for the Chiteau

Dandurand, a bid which was rejected.The $88,000 purchase price will be a drop in the bucket, however, when it comes to making the 80-year-old building habitable for MRC officials and possibly the Huntingdon CLSC and/or other tenants who could rent part of the 3,628 square metres of floor space in the three-storey brick building.The MRC will need only about 10 per cent of the total area.Loan

the \u201cpillars of agriculture\u201d in Quebec: stabilization.crop insurance and farm credit.News of the proposed changes came out of a September 8 meeting in Quebec City between the Quebec government and top- ranking UPA farm union representatives, including president Laurent Pellerin and regional officials.A series of regional consultations planned over the next couple of weeks, before the October 6 regional UPA congress in St-Rémi, will give the details of the changes and collect feed-back from producers.Chateauguay Valley syndicate president Neil MacKay worked hard to pressure the regional office to hold an English-language session as well as a series of other meetings in French.\u201cWe must get a good turn-out from our members at this meeting for two reasons,\u201d said syndicate secretary Penny Anderson.Information in English \u201cFirst, the input from the grass-roots level will determine the wording of resolutions to be presented at the regional meeting: and second.a strong attendance will underline the need and the desire of English-speaking farmers to get more information from the union in their own language.\u201d Anderson stressed that now is the time for farmers to speak up.Before the new measures become law.\u201cOnce the new regulations are in place.there will be no use in asking what the UPA is doing about the situation,\u201d she said.\u201cThese changes will affect farmers for years to come.And what the UPA does about them will be determined by input from producers across the province at this series of mectings.See MEETING page 6 day evening, the MRC's member mayors agreed to the purchase and also authorized a resolution to borrow a total of $2,758,296 to cover the cost of buying the building and carrying out nearly $2 million worth of renovations, including repartitioning, new electrical wiring, plumbing, air conditioning, replacing windows and installing an elevator an stairway.Also included are over $190,000 in professional fees and $530,083 in \u201cincidental costs\u201d.The loan payments will be spread over 20 years, and will have to be included in the MRC's annual budget.\u201cThe $500,000 Gagnon-Sledge, Martin win seats in Township vote Judith Taylor THE GLEANER With interest running high and a total of eight candidates throwing their hats into the municipal ring, Sunday\u2019s dual by-elec- tion in Hemmingford Township drew nearly 400 of its 1,339.voters to the polls to elect two councillors for a one-year term.Lynn Gagnon-Sledge was the winner in Seat 1, vacated by Alex Ross.She racked up 161 votes, to defeat her nearest rival Ulysses Caravias by a 57-vote margin.Caravias had 104 votes, Peter Sanderson had 62 and Jean-Pierre Isoré received 59.A total of seven ballots were spoiled.In Seat 2, Lee Martin garnered 180 votes, 86 more than nearest rival Julien Dion who had 94.Sharon Palmer Whyte received 66 votes and Jan Pitrik 47.There were six spoiled ballots.\u201cThere was a fairly steady stream of voters all day,\u201d said Township secretary-trea- surer Margaret Hess on Monday.\u201cThe vote figures will only become official after four days.so we hope to swear in our new councillors by the end of the week.\u201d Lots of interest she added that she thought the voter turn-out of 393 electors, or nearly 30 per cent, showed that interest in municipal affairs seemed to be running high in the community, although some voters admitted that they were not acquainted with all of the candidates.Gagnon-Sledge's first act as a councillor was to ask Hess to order her a brand-new copy of the Municipal Code, which she has been studying in detail in recent years to increase her grasp of municipal affairs.The 53 year-old accountant said she learned she had won about 9 p.m.Sunday after she came in from the barn and received a phone call from the secretary- treasurer.\"I'm really grateful to everyone who supported me, and I intend to work hard for the municipality as a

forcing drivers to use the new span a few hundred metres downstream.Transport ministry workers have been at work changing the signage in the area to warn local people that their habitual driving patterns must change, if they want to cross the Chateauguay River between Ormstown and Ste-Martine.We haven't driven that way yet to check, but that\u2019s the word from the powers-that-be in Chateauguay.SPEAKING OF TRAFFIC \u2014 we had a call Monday from Wendy Gamble of Ormstown, who told us something we never really knew for sure: motorists must stop at painted pedestrian crosswalks if anyone is waiting on the sidewalk to cross the street.She has had some interesting experiences trying to make people aware that this is the law here as well as in Ontario.She said she'll write us a letter to let readers know the details.IN THE MEANTIME \u2014 however, better safe than sorry: make sure you stop at the crosswalks if a pedestrian is anywhere in the vicinity.With luck, you won't get rear-ended by some other motorist unaware of the law.IN HUNTINGDON \u2014 brand-new yellow lines mark the trian cross-walk at the Huntingdon Academy.Hank Cross dropped by to tell us about it; he\u2019s been asdk ing the Town to repaint them for a while, it appears, and he\u2019s glad to see the job done.MOOSE ALERT \u2014 Hun n\u2019s Pearl Gendron called us last week to say she and her husband saw a moose taking a stroll along the Beaver Rd.in Godmanchester last Thursday morning about 8:30.\u201cIt was a male, with antlers, and we followed it along the road for about a kilometer before it turned into a farm road,\u201d she said.We know there are occasional spo of the big animals every now and then in this area, but it\u2019s been a while since the last one.A SLIDE

help pay off part of the loan,\u201d said MRC secretary-treasurer François Landreville on Monday.The resolution was introduced by Très- St-Sacrament mayor Albert Billette and seconded by Huntingdon mayor André Brunette.The Chateau is evaluated at $208,000 on Huntingdon\u2019s municipal valuation rolls.MRC prefect Paul-Maurice Patenaude was jubilant following the meeting, calling the transaction \u201can excellent bargain\u201d.\u201cThe MRC will be taking on a lot of new responsibilities in the next few years, in the areas of public security, waste management and infrastructures, which will mean hiring more people and adding new offices,\u201d the Dundee mayor said.The Chateau represents the second real estate purchase carried out in recent years.The other, the Industrial Motel in St- Chrysostome, is now rented out to a single tenant, an upholstering company.Heritage building Meanwhile, the Town of Huntingdon will become the owners of the County Building, MRC headquarters since 1982, which has been classified as a heritage building, protected against architectural changes.The Town has not indicated what the building could be used for once the MRC moves out, possibly as early as next year.The Haut-St-Laurent MRC is not the only entity to find itself pressed for space in its present quarters.The local CLSC announced several months ago that it lacks sufficient floor space in its present quarters, the former Gleaner building at the west end of Chateauguay St.And MRC officials said there is also the possibility that the Haut-St-Laurent\u2019s Local Development Centre CLD, now housed in the former Roman Catholic Presbytery in Ormstown, might also move to the new MRC quarters.The Huntingdon Château, once a regional landmark.has been abandoned since 1992.It has passed

421 members of the Chateauguay Valley Syndicate of the UPA farmers\u2019 union turned out September 7 in Ormstown to discuss a wide assortment of issues, including a $25 increase in membership fees set to start this winter.Discussion centred around the UPA's new five-year plan, which will run through the year 2005.One of its objectives is to raise the proportion of funding derived from contributions to make it more equal to the proportion derived from dues.At the end of five years, the ratio should reach 55 per cent from dues and 45 per cent from contributions, and eventually a 50-50 split is desirable.Dues, currently $220 per year plus taxes, are paid by producers, while the rest comes from \u201ccontributions\u201d, the check-offs farmers pay when they sell a crop or animal.Commercial crop growers, for example, pay 75 cents per ton on their sales.These contributions will climb by four per cent annually over the next five years, and this higher rate will translate into one cent per hectolitre in the milk sector.for instance.Playing fair Members agreed unanimously that the UPA should set up a more equitable system for assessing horticulturists and market gardeners, who currently pay no check-off fees whatever, although they are able to take advantage of the UPA'S member services and benefits.including technical support.Only two people at the meeting disagreed with making recognition as a producer (ie.UPA membership) compulsory tor those wishing to take advantage of government programs.Quebec already withholds farmers\u2019 rebates on municipal and school taxes if UPA union dues are not paid.Other advantages, such as accreditation as a farmer, could be lose, which could lead to stabilization problems.so this issue should give rise to some

ing the Chateauguay Valley group designated a \u201clinguistic syndicate\u201d.This might be one way of gaining immunity when and if other syndicates are pressured into amalgamating into a smaller number of larger bodies, or changing the existing territories, as suggested in Recommendation 13 .Various factors have to be considered when discussing such changes, it was agreed: larger syndicates would have more funds to work with, but fewer voices at policy meetings at the regional and provincial level.Membership in the Chateauguay Valley Syndicate is open to anglophone farmers and to other non-francophone producers who choose to join.Its territory already covers several MRCs.It was also made clear at the meeting that local farmers do not wish to broaden UPA membership.Recently, it was suggested a new category of member could be created to include farmers marketing produce worth less than $5,000 annually.Such small-scale members would be assessed dues of only $50 per year.They would not have the right to vote or hold executive positions; however they would be eligible for certain services and privileges.Good news Good news for most farmers is the fact that the UPA's Professional Defense Fund will be frozen for the next five years, barring a major crisis in agriculture.There was some discussion on making the union more open to associations with other agriculture-related groups in the rural community, Despite the small attendance at the local syndicate meeting in MacDougall Hall, the debate and discussions were interesting and lively.Many topics were covered and informal votes were taken on each.These votes are only symbolic, and after each of the province's 163 UPA syndicates follows the same procedure, final resolutions will be either passed or rejected at the October 6 Fall Congress in St-Rémi.Delegated are still needed to represent the Chateauguay Valley Syndicate at that meeting.If you can attend.please call Penny Anderson at (450) 825-2512.(PAT)

DOWN ON DRUNK DRIVERS An item on the radio news this morning caught our attention because it followed directly on Sunday's fatal accident in this area, an accident which involved impaired driving, according to the results of a breathalyzer test taken by police at the scene.While we don't remember exact figures, it seems that impaired drivers account for a disproportionate number of highway deaths in this province.Many of them, the report said, are repeat offenders and in a significant number of cases, they are driving without a license, after losing their driver's permit in a previous conviction on the same charge.This is just not good enough.As well as having to deal with deteriorating roads, a huge proliferation of semitrailers and other heavy vehicles on our highways, and a year of police inactivity in enforcing the rules of the road, we are now told that impaired drivers are not being kept off our highways and are out there in significant numbers, adding to the risk we take whenever we tum the key in the ignition.The radio report said that in New York State, for instance, the instant anyone is found to be driving while impaired, his or her vehicle is immediately confiscated and auctioned off \u2014 no ifs, ands, or buts.Quebec is reluctant to take such stringent measures, the report said, although it would like to crack down on drunk drivers.Why hesitate?Do whatever works to control drunk driving.If offender whines, tough.Such people don't hesitate to put our lives on the line as well as their own gn when they get behind the wheel.FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES

U.S.A.$37.50 U.S., $55.00 Cdn.AJRQ Eon Late James Barrington was s always a favorite with neighbors, children The late James Barrington was not only a fire chief and a bus driver \u2014 he was a father and a neighbor.From the time when I was a little girl, | remember his red, red hair, and his smile as wide as the rainbow.He could always console a child with a \"horsey-ride\u201d on his knee, and his phone number was the first I could remember, because of all the zeroes.Mr.Barrington was also my \u201cdentist\u201d.If I had a loose tooth.I'd go see Jim, who would offer two choices: the string on the door-knob technique, or the long-nosed pliers.Either way, there were no tears, but there was the shiny silver dollar he would give me afterwards.I went to school with the Barrington children, and we had great fun playing hide-and-seek with the whole street as a boundary line.Afterwards, we would go for an ice cream at Mrs.Daniel'sestand.Eventually, we all grew up and moved away, but then I had the chance to move back and be a neighbor once again, And my two children also adored Jim.He always had time for a tractor ride and a brief chat with the children.\u201cHe likds to tease me about my freckles,\u201d my daughter said, and he never left home or passed by without a wave or a greeting.Just recently, Jim's favorite stool at the local Legion Hall was painted gold, and this impressed the children no end: each took a turn to sit on it.Now a second generation of children carry hearts full of memories that will never be forgotten, just as Jim Barrington will be missed, but never forgotten.Judy Yuille Champagne and family Ormstown As part of the Circuit du Pay- ™ san tours on the weekends of September 9-10 and 16-17, visitors could experience a brief \u2014 and free \u2014 canoe trip on the Chateauguay, starting from and ending at the brand-new wharf at the Parks Canada site at Allan\u2019s Corners.The wharf was opened earlier in the summer, at the time of the group canoe excursion sponsored by the Haut-St- Laurent\u2019s Local Development Centre as part of its tourism promotion program.Some local residents have enjoyed just walking out on the pier to get a Pa new view of the œ scenery.(Photo: JT) I A by New women\u2019s team a bright spot in Saracens\u2019 dismal rugby season A dismal rugby season for the Ormstown Saracens men\u2019s squad came to an end on Saturday Sept.16 with a 38-7 defeat at the hands of the St.Lambert Locks in the Cup quarter-finals.An emotional team captain Benoit Racine and club president Brendan Boyle have pledged the next several months to rebuilding the teams.Next year, the Saracens will field teams in Divisions II and III (instead of I and ID), which will allow the large proportion of new young players to compete and learn under less pressure.Not all is black, however.The club enjoyed an excellent social season and raised much-needed funds by providing security services at both Ormstown and Huntingdon Fairs.The Saracens also hosted a team from Imperial College, London, and participated in the Saranac Lake International Rugby Tournament and the Quebec Sevens Tournament, where they won the Consolation plate.The Valleyfield Braves began a | new season in earlier this month in | La Plaine in their first encounter.They went on to win 7-1 over St- Hyacinthe on September 14, but lost § 4-2 to the same team the following day.As the banner §.À says, they play Ë Thursday evenings [ in the Salaberry Arena.Games start at 7:30 p.m.Shown in the photo are team owner Robert Richer, coach Stéphane Scotto, Women do well The nucleus of a women\u2019s rugby team was also formed, and in fact were the club's most successful element on the field, winning two important \u201csevens\u201d tournaments: St-Jean-sur-Richelieu in July and the Ottawa Sevens on September 9.Led by Quebec Junior player Marie- Claude Montcalm, Josée Mondou and Annie Schinck (from the Université de Sherbrooke), Martine Laberge (John Abbott Cégep), Véronique D'Aoust, Mélissa Laberge, Josiane Riendeau and Caroline Montcalm, the squad breezed through both events without a loss.All the girls on the team learned their rugby at Arthur Pigeon High School in Huntingdon.Their coaches this season were Benoit Racine and Patrick Leduc.The large number of young members, as well as the successful launching of the women's team, means the older members can expect better results in the coming seasons.(D.Murdoch/JT) and new players Dave Lavoie, Shawn Côté and Mathieu Gauthier.Denis Auclair has also joined the coaching staff, to work with the goal-tenders.(Photo: courtesy Le Soleil) Words of wisdom The fall sports program at CVR is - well under way, and the girls Field Hockey team prepared Thursday for its first
